Abi Foakes

From UKBased in RoehamptonLanguages EnglishExperience 5 years

Abi's daughter was born at 24 weeks and later diagnosed with dystonic cerebral palsy and cortical visual impairment. After months in neonatal care and limited progress with the approaches on offer, Abi went looking for something that worked with the brain.

When her daughter had her first ABM intensive in 2018, the change was immediate: she was more comfortable, more responsive and more engaged. Abi enrolled in practitioner training soon after and has completed the Children's Mastery certification.

She works hands on with adults and leads movement lessons for the wider UK ABM community. Parents describe her lessons as calm and deeply effective.

“Real change begins when we stop pushing for results and start listening to what's already there.”
